- [Announcer] Join us in celebrating innovators in education with this golden apple moment.

- There was like 57 kindergartners that were monolingual.

They didn't speak the language.

And so they needed someone in kinder, extremely bad.

And I was the bilingual person in the upper hall.

And so they moved me.

It is really important that they have a bilingual teacher because then you're bringing in the shelter instruction, observation protocols, you know, what does this student need?

What does that student?

So as a kindergarten teacher, you wanna make sure that you are covering the bases for them to succeed in first grade.

I always get this (speaking in foreign language), I don't know, I don't know.

But you're gonna know, I'm here to help you, and you are gonna know.

They just have to believe in themselves that they can do it.

Just like an English speaker, they have to be able to succeed - [Announcer] This golden apple moment made possible by PEMCO Insurance.
